proponed to tnnVe "the fig In.,
This declaration Mr. Stlckney made In the
course or an addrea before, the club, and
it caused great, Interest. ,
Mr. Stlckney began hi add rem by re
citing the prevalence of rebating prior to
the enactment of tho original Interstate
commerce law In 1R87. and the efforta that
had been made to break up the practice
through prosecution. The featurea of the
pending rate 'bill dealing with the crime
of rebating vera explained, and the fact
rmphalzed that the new law makea It
obligatory on the attorney general ot the
United Btatea to prosecute any known case
of discrimination arising under the law
This brought him to the consideration of
the "elevation charge," concerning which
lie said: ' i
I nder the provisions of this law, if we
wore disponed to disregard our moral obllra
Hons ns good citizen. It seems to me that
from the business point of view neither
the railway company nor the shipper can
afford to continue these practices.
Accordingly, 1 have directed the traffic
department of the Chicago Oreat Western
Hallway comtieny to change the form of ita
tariffs, and instead of publishing rates from
which 1'. cent per loo la to be paid back
to certain shippers, and not to others, to
publish the net rate which It will charge
and keep. There will be, nothing returned
on business after the new tariff goes into
effect. These net ratea will be the present
rates, less the 1H cents per 109, ao the actual
j rates win ne ina aame as oerore, aria tne

1 . or the Transmlsslsslppl Oraln company,

verybody else; Tlrls la the law, and the
law must tie, oDeveit. .
Whether .the other lines will publish their
tariffs In the same way as the Chicago
Oreat Western I am not Informed, but the
decision of the court In the .packers' cases,
which have Just, been decided. Is a warning
to shippers that they must know whether
or not the f'aiMffs or arrangements under
which ttvy" make shipments are legal or

lalon Pnclfle Practice'.
The presept custom of collecting certain
tariff ratea for-the transfer Of grain, and
afterwards paying bark Hi cents per 100 aa
n elevation, : "transfer, loading or
"unloading" charge, had Its origin with a
contract made by the cnlon Pacific Rail
road company with Peavey Co. In 1899,
which became effective some time during
the year , when Peavey's elevator at
Council Bluffs waa completed, whereby the
1'nlon Pacific company agreed to nay to
Peavey Co: a so-called transfer charge
or i' centa per Jim ror all grain shipped

I waa some time I cannot tell how Jong-
before t hi secret leaked out, and the Union
Pacific company haa never to this data
made It ptiblto by publishing the transfer

and xivlng the aame allowance for unload

contracts Were muds with the Transniiasls
slppl Oraln company at Council Bluffs, and
wuii a reavey elevator at Kansas City.
Some time, prohably In 1804. the. Atchison.
Topeka ft Hanta Ke Kullway company made
an Informal 'complaint to the Interstate
Commerce commission, on which tha Inter
state commission summoned the Union Pa-
cine railroad and Peavey at Co. to ahow
cause why the' contract should not be set
aside and tlie commission, on the partial
statement of facts, which waa presented
to them, found that tha contract was legal,
and that the payments made thereunder
by the L'nton paclfto were legal.

desirous of preventing their grain from

Under these conditions, in older to pro

never paid these allowances secretly. From
the outstart they published tariffs which
they tiled with the Interstate Commerce
commission, stating the allowance which
would be made In the shipment of such
grsln. Tha Chicago Oreat Western having
taken this stand and published these tariffs,
compelled all other lines to do the same,
and thus the markets at Omaha and Kan
sas City have been maintained.
Effect of Peavey Contract.
Now, let us see by a concrete example
how the Peavey contract would have af
fected the market at Omaha if the same
allowance had not been made by the other
"neB- .
A large grain dealing concern in Omaha
Informs me that during the pnet year It
haa bonirht on the Union Pacific railroad
and ahlpped Into Omaha more than 1.000
carloads of grain, upon wnicn tne union
Pacific refused to make the aame allow
ance which It made to Peavey & Co. and
tha Transmlsslsslppl Grain company. Ks-
tlmatina- each carload at 60,u0. these thou.
sand carloads of a rain cost this company
In Omaha li.SO per car, or an aggregate of
ti.oOO more than 1.U00 carloads of grain
would cost Peavey & Co. or the Transmls
slsslppl Oraln company in Omaha.
1 am further Informed that tha aame
concern, dutina- the last year, has pur
chased and shipped Into Omaha on all the
lines, 'Including the Union Pacific, about
12.000 carloada of grain, upon which It haa
received no allowance by any of the roads
brlnclnr such grain Into Omaha. There
fore, estimating each carload at 60,000
pounds, these 12,000 carloads of grain have
cost this company In Omaha $HO,000 more
than a like quantity of grain would huvs
cost Peavey Co. and the iransmiSHisuppi
Grain cohiDanr In Omaha.
But there la atlll another clause In the
Peavey contract, which ia a gross dis
crimination In favor of Peavey A Co, and
the Transmlsslsslppl Grain company, as
against all other grain dealers and elevator
companies doing business in umina, i ne
sixth section of the contract reads aa fol
lows:
"Railroad company agrees to provide
aald Feavey & Co.. for said elevator, euuai
privileges and advantagea as It may grant
to the proprietors of any other grain ele
vator or elevators that are now or- which
may hereafter be located on or aerved by
said railroad company at Omaha, Neb., or
Council Bluffs, la., and that all cars com
ing from or going to any point or points
on said railroad, to or from said elevator,
and not less than ten miles from Omaha,
ahall be awitched, whether loaded or
empty, to or from aald elevator free of
charae.
Hence, these two elevator companlea are
entitled to have grain arriving at Omaha
on the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy, the
Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, the Missouri Pacific, the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
railways, as well aa the Union Pacific
switched to their elevators In Council Bluffs
for nothing, while tha other nine elevators
m Omaha and Council Bluffs are compelled
to pay. In order to get such grain to their
elevators, from 12 to i per car and the
aame amounts for getting their grain
switcneo from their elevators to the out
foing lines, a discrimination In favor of
he two favored elevators of from H to S12
per car, amounting in the aggregate on the
12,000 cars In our example to nearly as
much aa the l' cents tier 100. allowed
the previous section of the contract, which
we nave Deen consiaeiing.
This, also, ia a secret arrangement not
disclosed by any of the tariffs published
by the Union Pad tin vomuany, either at
tha tuue the . contract was .made or since.
arm on the uusine.su of 12.000 carloads hand
led by the concern Which has been before
mentioned, would probably amount to
nearly another SHO.OOu nor anuin.
Such are the enormous advantages which
mis contract secures 10 tne feavey com
puny and the - TranemlssissibD company
over all other elevators and grain dealers
In Omaha. Is this a square. deal?
Uvldent-e of other Hebatea. .
From this concrete example It Is evident
that the gram company which haa been
referred to could not nave brought 12.0U0
cars ot grain or any considerable uumoer
of cars 01 grain into Omaha in competition
with Peavey It Co., and the TransmlBsis
sippi Oram company, unless the roads tak
ing such grains out would make the aame
auowunce Hum their freight rates that
Peavey A Co., and the Transmlsslssipp!
Grain company received on the grain In,
and it hi also evident that aucu allowance
on ita out shipments would be useleas lu
the matter of equality between elevators
and dealers If the same allowances on
outahipmenta were made to Peavey & Co.,
and the Transmisaisalppl Gjaln. company.
Hence, however illegal these tarifls may
have been, in refusing to ship out grain
for Peavey & Co., and the TrainimisstaHippl
Grain company at the same terms that grain
could be shipped out for other concerns in
Omaha, who did not receive such allowance
on their grain Into Omaha there seems
to be an element of Justice and fair deal
ing In such tariffs.
Not la Pabllshed Tariff.
At tha time the Peavey contract waa
made the Union Paclflo railroad had pub
lished tarifiB ii gruin ratea between all
stations on Its lines and Council Bluffs.
The ratea published In these tariffs did not
cover the loading of grain Into cars, or the
unloading of grain when It reached Its
destination at Council Bluffs, but, on the
contrary. It expressly provided that grain
In carloads should be loaded and unloaded
by the ahiupper. Besides tills general
schedule of rates, at the time the contract
waa made, the Union Paclflo company had
I so a published schedule of rates for ship
ping grain between Omaha and Council
Bluffs of I per car, which schedule Is
still in force, as to all shippers except
Peavey ft Co.. and the Traiismississipol
Grain company. The law provided that
after publishing such schedules of rates.
it was unlawful ror tne 1 nion racino
railroad to charge, demand, collect or re
ceive from any person or persons a greater
or less compensation for the transportation
of gialn than Is specified In such published
scale of ratea. and that, (f the said Union
Paclflo railroad, directly or Indirectly, by
any special rate, rebate, drawback or other
devU-e, charged or collected from any per
son or persona a geater or less comix-nsa-tlon
for auc.h services, the Union Pacific.
Railroad company should be deemed guilty
of unjust discrimination, which the law
prohibits and declarea to be unlawful.
In the face of thesa published schedules,
and In the face of the provisions of the
law, the Union Pacific Railroad company
entered Into thta secret contract with
I'eavey ft Co. and tha Tranamlsslsalpnl
Oraln company to make them alone an al
lowance of ) centa per lull on all grain
shinned to their elevators, and to switch
gralnr for tneni only rietween Omaha and
Council Bluffs rree. Thus were the plain
and fundamental provisions of the Inter
state Commerce Ijiw t at naught by tha
making of this contract. It Is a contract
to do an unlawful act. K u a contract
which llconsea robbery of the many for the
benefit of the few, and la therefore un
lawful.
toatraet ( erefally Worded.
- It la true that the contract attempts to
avoid the provisions of the law by. veiling
the refunding of ls cents a M0 not
quoting the language ot the law "a special
rate, or a rebate, drawback or other de
vice," but the contract called It a "transfer
chares." aa though "a rawe by eime other
name would not smell as sweetly.". An
Inspection of this cwret conclusively
shows the greatest car In the selection of
words. In order to disguise- the real nature
of the allowanoe which the contract mads
In transportation ratea, but no attempt waa
made to disguise the discrimination in" re
spect to switching charges.
Peavey ft Co. agreed to build an elevator
of l.buO.OOU bushels. Peavey ft Co agreed
to receive, not from the public, but from
the railroad company, any grain tendered
by It which originated on the lines of its
railroad, and which may be consigned to
or In the rare ot the elevator, to the. ca
pacity thereof, and to promptly transfer
such, grain from said railroad 4-ompany s
cars through said elevator, ao that such
business tendered to said elevator by ald
railroad company ahall be first transferred
and the cars of aald railroad company
promptly' released. For -thta transfer the
railroad company agreea to pay IV cents

terms of aald contract, ia payable on all
grain qrlgtnattng on the lines ol the Union
Pacific Railroad rempaoy and transported
j the cere uf the said elevator. Wovse grain
but Pesvey'a will ever be ronslgned to or
in the care of Pesvev'a elevator? ' "
All terminal elevstors transfer the grsln
which Is delivered to them by tbe rsllrosds
through their elevator In the same may
that Peavey contracted to transfer this
frsin through his elevator. -The trans
erring of grain through an elevator con
sists of unloading It from the cars, stor
ing It In the elevator, and when shipped
forward loading it from the elevator into
the outgoing care. Nowhere In this con
tract does I'eavey ft Co. agree to perrorm
any service for the Union Pacific Railroad
company which It was not obliged to per
rorm tinner the terms 01 its puoiisne.j
tsriffs. and which all other receivers of
grsln at Omaha or Council Bluffs are
ohllged to perform at their own expense
under such tariffs, without compensation
from the railroad company, via. : unload
its own grain Into Its own elevator.
Caae to Re Reopened.
It Is true that this matter has been be.
fore the Interstate Commerce commission.
nd the commission haa given the opinion
that the facts disclosed at the hearing.
however objectionable the arrangement
In question may appear from any point
of view. It cannot lie adjudged unlawful."
The facta as presented to the commis
sion ant. upon which its decision was
based seemed to prove that the elevator
was built and operated principally for the
purpose of transferring grain which was
consigned to points beyond the terminus
of the Union Pacific lines from the oara
of the Union Pacific company directly to
the outgoing rare of the connecting car
riers for further transportation, thua re
leasing the Union Pacific cars more
promptly and more cheaply than by any
other means of transfer. It was not pointed
nut to the commission that under the cus
toms of railroartina: It was not the nuty
of the Union Pacific In through shipments
to make such transfer, but that custom
required the connecting carricra to make
mc irdnmpr.
The apparent opponents of the contract
admitted the legal rights of the pnrtiea
to make such a contract, provided the
transfer charge waa reasonable. No ona
pointed out to the commission the terms
of the railroad schedule of rates, which
reauired Peavey ft Co. and all other re
ceivers ot grain to unload and transfer
their own grain without payment from the
railway company, and the aoie question
submitted and decided by the commission
was. in effect:
Granting the right and the duty of the
railway company to pay for such a trans
fer, was the charge of 1 centa per 100
a reasonable charge. The decision of the
commission was that under such a state
ment of facts the amount of the charge.
on the evidence produced, waa not rea
snnable. And that ia ail the decision does
decide.
. Tbia la tha leral status of the contract
today. It la of the first Importance to all
grain ahlppere and all grain carrying rail
ways, and especially to the grain market
at Omaha, that the Interstate Commerce
commission reopene the case and heare
further testimony and argument, and I am
convinced that the result will be' that they
will hold' the Peavey contract and the
practices under the Peavey contract to be
Illegal. It la my purpose to make a peti
tion for the reargument of the caae at
an earlv date. If the Grain exchange of
Omaha or any of Its members desires to
Join In such application I would be. very
glad to have them Join.
The Grain Exchange fa with Him,
The narlora of the Commercial club
were filled with grain men and other bus!
ness men who came to hear the, address.
When Mr. Stlckney had flnlehed, there waa
prolonged applause. Expreeslona of aatls.
faction at Mr. Stlckney's attitude on the
question of elevation charges were beard
everywhere.
"A pretty hard knock," aald A. H. Bew
sher of the Peavey Elevator company, wlio
waa the only representative present of the
grain firma under Are. He smiled and
listened good naluredly to the raillery of
the other grain men.
"I think I voice the sentiments of the
board of directors of the Grain exchange
when I say It agrees with Mr. Stlckney
In his views," said President O. W. Wat
tls.i. "We will be ready to support Mr.
Stlckney before the Interatate Commerce

"I Ul'.fvi, and In fact all of us be
lieve, that the sooner everything ap
proaching the nature of a rebate la done

that It will be abolished at other places
the same time it la abolished here."
CONNELL GIVES HIS PLANS
Health Commissioner Outlinei Ejitem of
Food Inspection for Omaha.
GIVES ALL OFFICERS SOMETHING TO DO
Thinks Market Master oold Look
After the Meat Shops, (irocery
stores and the Whole
ale IHstrlet.
In res'pnnaa to a request from the
mayor. Health Commissioner Connell haa
submitted his views and recommendations
regarding the loal Inspection of meats
and other foods. He believes the Inspec
tion of fruits, vegetables and all kinds of
edlblea except meats should be added to
the dutlea of the marketmaster and that
the Inspection of loe and water should be
left to the city veterinarian and meat In
spector, along with all kinda of meat and
packing house producta, the milk Inspector
to be left free to devote all hla time to
the proper regulation of the milk supply
and production.' ,
Mayor Pahlman thinks the plan sug
gested Is a good one and probably will
proceed to have ordinances and amend
ments prepared for aubmlsslon to the
council.
The commissioner save there ia need of
an Inspection of all kinda of food, but
that to get the best results it- will be
necessary to have state food laws passed
specially pertaining to- adulterants and
preservatives. At the same time he be
lieves It la within the power of the city
to accomplish much good by the exercise
ot Ita police and health powers.
The funds provided for tbe health de
partment he finds Inadequate to employ an
additional Inspector or in fact even to in
sure a thorough sanitary Inspection of
the city, which the commissioner says Is
Impossible with the present force. But
by changing the duties of certain offices,
however, he thinks the problem can be
solved In a measure.
Duties of the market master have been
curtailed, says Commissioner' Connell, by
the establishing of the Omaha Wholesale
Produce Market House company and the
abandonment of the clfy' market houae.
Collections in April by the? market master
amounted only to I22.W. ' His idea Is that
under the circumstances' this appointee
ahould Inspect the wholesale groceries and
commission houses While superintending
the .market In the commission district, and
he could devote the remainder of the day
to Inspecting grocery stores and meat
shops apd Investigating complaints. By
scrutinizing fooda In the wholesale markets
before they have been distributed through
out the city, the commissioner thinks,
would mean going a long ways toward
preventing the retailing of bad commodi
ties. . -
